THE WILD LIFE REFUGE WE LOVE THE MOTEL WAS HORRIBLE NEVER WILL I STAY IN A NOTHER ONE LAWTON WAS EASY TO GET AROUND IN . IT WAS A OK TOWN. WE HAD A GREAT TIME THERE BUT COULD NOT GET OUT DAYS INN FAST ENOUGH. AS SOON AS WE DOT UP A 6:00 AM WE LEFT. ITS WAS NOT WHAT IT SAID IT WAS ....

I only went to Lawton to attend my son's wedding on Mount Scott. I had no idea this was such a beautiful area! Before she left Kansas to join me, my granddaughter told her boyfriend about the wedding in the mountains, and he was sure Oklahoma had no such mountains. I''m sure he's seen the pictures now and was surprised.. On top of Mount Scott, I could fully understand why the bride chose that spot. We enjoyed walking the grounds of The Holy City of the Wichitas, and I would love to attend the Passion Play held there each Easter season.. My granddaughter liked waiting for Longhorn cattle to cross the road as we made our way to The Holy City. We enjoyed our meals at Meers Restaurant and Store and the Riverside Cafe, and snowcones at Santa's Snack Shop as we sat and listened to local performers. It's a fun, beautiful area, and I intend to return.

The review listed was from another place I stayed. There was no smell from a paper mill. THIS PLACE was terrible! The rudest front desk lady and the Maintenance tech was incredibly rude and nasty. They both had the personality of a wet mop. The pool has sand in it and very cloudy and the hot tub was Kermit green. The maintenance man likes right i my face and the MOD face and told him it was crystal clear that very AM. Total lie because it was already checked out. I was not offered to swap rooms. My room smelled like 💩. Breakfast was a box with 2 boiled eggs. Yogurt. Muffin. HILTON should be ashamed to have this property. I drove all the way from Georgia for AIT graduation and I hated every minute of the hotel. RENOVATE and teach some customer service. I know, I ran a huge hotel myself.

I mainly go to Lawton because of the proximity to the Wichita Mountains and Wildlife refuge. It's more economical to find a live able hotel there in town than to rent an expensive cabin in the mountains. There are casinos and a couple of museums there too.The city part is ok. Nothing to write home about. Maybe it's because I'm not there everyday but the people do seem nicer here. There are some decent places to eat but alot of them close by 7 or 8 at night is what I noticed unless its a fast food place. Bricktown Brewery and Los Tres Amigos are two places I have dined at that are good. There are some decent Army Navy stores there too. Lawton is about a 3 hour drive from where I live so it makes for a quick, inexpensive change of scenery without alot of planning. Just check the weather first depending on what you want to do there.

Lawton doesn't deserve the bad rep it gets. Sure, it has some rough spots, but what city doesn't? It has some good food spots, and if you're a history buff you can visit Fort Sill and go visit the museums there (once the Rona Virus ends and we can do that sort of thing).

Lawton itself offers little to recommend. There is a small mall but no actual downtown area; a few little 'vintage' shops here and there, a few small parks, but the city has seen better days and much of it is run-down. A great but pricey trampoline place for family. If you can get onto Ft. Sill, there is a small museum with outside artillery displays. A short drive away is Medicine Park, a tiny tourist spot with a couple of eating places, little shops, a stream running through it, and a small Aquarium nearby. Leave Lawton and drive the Wichita Mtn Wildlife Refuge to see buffalo and drive up Mt. Scott for the views. Hit the Back Porch for good pub food, or MacAllisters.
